T-Minus 11 and Counting

     November was not a good month for our preparations towards being full time cruisers.  I was very involved in winterizing the boat and having the boat hauled.  Sharon offered a couple of days to help with winterizing, which I gladly accepted.  Winterizing a boat is very labor intensive, and if you pay someone to do it, very expensive.
     There was talk between us about different transition projects, but we never actually got to work on any of them.  The cooking recipe database projects continues with no completion date etched in stone.  One of our original plans was to have a yard sale late next spring to liquidate most of those possessions that won't be needed (or fit) on a boat, like a 50" big screen TV.   While we were on the boat for winterization, in October, we discussed another idea to start offering some of the items on eBay or CraigsList to expedite "disposal".
     On another note, something worth celebrating, Sharon decided to retire 6 months early.  Her retirement was effective the 20th of November.  It was back in October she decided to do this and I fully support her decision.  Just another step forward in our quest to become full time cruisers and start our adventure.
